AvailablePhoneNumber resource
The subresources of the AvailablePhoneNumber
resource lets you search for local, toll-free and mobile phone numbers that are available for you to purchase. You can search for phone numbers that match a pattern, are in a certain country, are in certain area code (NPA) or exchange (NXX) or are in a specific geography.
You cannot make requests directly to AvailablePhoneNumber
instance resources. Instead, to find available numbers, make a request to one of the subresources:
